00:00:16,433 --> 00:00:19,686
[whirring]
6
00:00:19,686 --> 00:00:22,564
Confirmed it. Other side now.
7
00:00:22,564 --> 00:00:25,316
[girl] All right. Be careful
that there's-- It's on the other side.
8
00:00:26,317 --> 00:00:29,320
[cheering continues]
9
00:00:34,868 --> 00:00:36,536
[boy 1] The batteries are secured to it.
10
00:00:37,328 --> 00:00:38,329
[boy 2] Yeah.
11
00:00:41,791 --> 00:00:44,461
- [boy 1] Huh? Right now?
- [boy 2] No, we--
12
00:00:50,842 --> 00:00:52,302
[girl] Run the batteries. We've gotta go.
13
00:00:52,302 --> 00:00:55,055
We have a minute, 50 seconds to go.
14
00:00:57,766 --> 00:00:59,601
- Yeah, let's go. Let's go.
- [boy] I know.
15
00:01:00,977 --> 00:01:02,687
TeraWatts! TeraWatts!

[boy 2] Let's do it!
19
00:01:13,406 --> 00:01:15,408
[girl] All right. A minute, 30 seconds.
20
00:01:17,243 --> 00:01:18,286
We gotta go.
21
00:01:19,537 --> 00:01:21,956
All right. Let's go.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
22
00:01:25,585 --> 00:01:30,090
[male emceer] Alliance Captains, 3512.

[emcee]
Our second set of quarterfinals returns.
26
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:49,234
Our fourth seed alliance in red.
27
00:01:49,234 --> 00:01:52,070
Our fifth seed alliance in blue.

00:02:14,009 --> 00:02:15,635
Go! Go, TeraWatts!
35
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:17,971
- Hey, is everything all good?
- Everything good. Good.
36
00:02:17,971 --> 00:02:20,974
[emcee] Drivers, behind the lines!
37
00:02:20,974 --> 00:02:24,019
[man] There we go. He's good.
He's good now. He's good. He's ready.
38
00:02:25,311 --> 00:02:29,149
[emcee] Three. Two. One. Go!
39
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:32,235
[crowd roaring]
40
00:02:41,494 --> 00:02:43,496
[birds chirping]
41
00:02:54,049 --> 00:02:57,886
[boy] The way my brain works,
I can't think of things in words.
42
00:02:57,886 --> 00:03:00,555
I think in feelings and numbers.
43
00:03:01,765 --> 00:03:05,685
The feelings that numbers give me--
Well, the number two...
44
00:03:06,311 --> 00:03:10,315
I'm facing south and I'm looking at
the corner of a building.
45
00:03:11,149 --> 00:03:17,489
The number three, it can be a tree.
It can be something purple.
46
00:03:18,365 --> 00:03:22,827
The number four is something bright.
47
00:03:22,911 --> 00:03:29,084
It's like a star in the night sky,
or red and green. [chuckles]
48
00:03:29,084 --> 00:03:32,837
My brain makes way too many connections.
[chuckles]
49
00:03:34,464 --> 00:03:39,511
[woman] Jacob was always very curious
about how things worked.
50
00:03:41,346 --> 00:03:46,142
Jacob was a very happy baby.
Always smiling. Always bouncing.
51
00:03:46,810 --> 00:03:48,436
He's always been blond,
52
00:03:49,020 --> 00:03:53,983
and his hair would grow out
in a perfect halo around his head.
53
00:03:54,651 --> 00:03:58,196
He always had this perfect,
round head of hair.
54
00:04:00,115 --> 00:04:02,200
He would sit and write numbers out.
55
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,494
Cover a sheet of paper. Start a new one.
56
00:04:04,494 --> 00:04:06,538
Cover the page with numbers.
57
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,083
And he was always fascinated
with airplanes.
58
00:04:11,292 --> 00:04:13,294
I had this idea of working for SpaceX.
59
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,007
I used to be
kind of interested in rockets.
60
00:04:17,007 --> 00:04:18,550
I thought they were cool.
61
00:04:19,134 --> 00:04:22,554
I-I still think they are,
but not as cool as math. [chuckles]
62
00:04:23,638 --> 00:04:26,641
[playing classical music]
63
00:04:31,354 --> 00:04:34,691
The structure and harmonies
of classical music,
64
00:04:34,691 --> 00:04:39,446
they work because of some
mathematical concepts.
65
00:04:40,030 --> 00:04:41,865
There's a certain pattern that we track,
66
00:04:41,865 --> 00:04:46,036
and if it produces joy
or produces sadness,
67
00:04:46,036 --> 00:04:47,245
it's based on math.
68
00:04:48,663 --> 00:04:50,040
I messed up. [chuckles]
69
00:04:51,041 --> 00:04:53,376
I-I can't handle it when I mess up.
70
00:04:57,714 --> 00:05:00,258
At school, everyone is cool.
71
00:05:01,301 --> 00:05:03,803
People skills were a bit of an issue.
72
00:05:03,887 --> 00:05:05,722
I wouldn't say
they were a bit of an issue,
73
00:05:05,722 --> 00:05:08,475
but they--
I didn't understand stuff at first.
74
00:05:08,475 --> 00:05:10,977
I didn't understand popular culture.
75
00:05:11,061 --> 00:05:13,313
I understand a little bit of it now,
76
00:05:14,856 --> 00:05:18,693
but I'm not an expert,
but everyone else is an expert. [chuckles]
77
00:05:20,028 --> 00:05:23,073
I'd never really, like,
been a part of a team before.
78
00:05:24,074 --> 00:05:27,827
I needed to be an expert
at literally everything, which I can't be.
79
00:05:29,496 --> 00:05:33,041
I was at the club fair,
80
00:05:33,041 --> 00:05:37,962
and there was this huge table,
and there was a pile of metal.
81
00:05:39,297 --> 00:05:41,257
I walked over,
and it wasn't a pile of metal.
82
00:05:41,341 --> 00:05:42,467
It was a robot.
83
00:05:45,887 --> 00:05:48,098
And they said it's a robotics team,
84
00:05:48,973 --> 00:05:50,892
and I was hooked.
85
00:05:53,812 --> 00:05:56,231
[whirring]
86
00:06:02,153 --> 00:06:03,571
You tightened it too high up here.
87
00:06:03,655 --> 00:06:04,656
Okay.
88
00:06:06,241 --> 00:06:10,286
[Jacob] I made a lot of friends
being part of a team,
89
00:06:10,370 --> 00:06:11,705
which was new for me.
90
00:06:13,707 --> 00:06:18,420
I work on coding
the control panel mechanism for the robot.
91
00:06:20,505 --> 00:06:22,590
I get to connect with a lot of people.
92
00:06:23,216 --> 00:06:26,803
And we get to chat all we want
about this one particular thing
93
00:06:26,803 --> 00:06:29,097
that's been in my mind
for what seems like ages.
94
00:06:30,265 --> 00:06:34,227
I think it's good because it fits me.
95
00:06:38,690 --> 00:06:39,983
[cheering]
96
00:06:39,983 --> 00:06:45,572
Hello, everybody, and welcome.
This is the 1996 US FIRST National Finals.
97
00:06:45,572 --> 00:06:46,906
[female broadcaster] This is FIRST,
98
00:06:46,990 --> 00:06:50,493
For Inspiration and Recognition
of Science and Technology.
99
00:06:51,411 --> 00:06:55,582
A worldwide program that combines
the high-intensity world of sports
100
00:06:55,582 --> 00:06:59,586
with STEM education, science,
technology, engineering and math.
101
00:07:00,086 --> 00:07:04,299
[Debenham] Please welcome to the podium
FIRST founder, Dean Kamen.
102
00:07:04,799 --> 00:07:07,093
[broadcaster]
Dean Kamen created the Segway scooter,
103
00:07:07,177 --> 00:07:09,846
the insulin pump
and the portable dialysis machine,
104
00:07:09,846 --> 00:07:11,931
just to name a few of his big innovations.
105
00:07:12,015 --> 00:07:14,100
And Dean is not just inventing things.
106
00:07:14,184 --> 00:07:17,187
He's created a platform for young,
passionate engineers
107
00:07:17,187 --> 00:07:18,855
to follow in his footsteps.
108
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:20,732
[Kamen] How do you take
109
00:07:20,732 --> 00:07:25,653
all the critical elements of science,
technology and engineering and innovation,
110
00:07:25,737 --> 00:07:28,406
and put 'em in a format
that kids can appreciate?
111
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:31,493
I know! We'll make a robotics competition.
112
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,953
[broadcaster]
Each year, teams of high school students
113
00:07:34,037 --> 00:07:37,123
dedicate weeks of their lives
to designing,
114
00:07:37,207 --> 00:07:38,917
building and programming a robot.
115
00:07:39,918 --> 00:07:44,839
We wanted FIRST to be a microcosm
of the real world of engineering.
116
00:07:45,882 --> 00:07:47,342
Thought robots would be ideal
117
00:07:47,342 --> 00:07:51,930
because it's easy to include every
different kind of engineering discipline
118
00:07:51,930 --> 00:07:53,890
that kids might be interested in.
119
00:07:55,016 --> 00:07:57,686
[man] Back in the '70s, we wanted to
make sure that MIT students
120
00:07:57,686 --> 00:07:59,938
not only got good analytical thinking
121
00:07:59,938 --> 00:08:02,023
but got in touch
with their creative skill.
122
00:08:02,107 --> 00:08:06,152
So we gave 'em a kit of materials and said
build something to accomplish a task.
123
00:08:06,945 --> 00:08:10,740
Wasn't too surprising that MIT students
would compete like crazy.
124
00:08:11,616 --> 00:08:14,911
But it was really wonderful to note
that they worked together,
125
00:08:14,911 --> 00:08:16,955
taught each other everything they know.
126
00:08:17,997 --> 00:08:20,417
[Kamen] When we started this,
there were 20-some-odd teams.
127
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:22,460
The next year we went to 100.
128
00:08:22,544 --> 00:08:24,587
The next year we went to 200.
129
00:08:24,671 --> 00:08:28,258
Now we have thousands and thousands
of teams all around the world.
130
00:08:28,883 --> 00:08:31,302
[crowd cheering, applauding]
131
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,319
Every year, our live kickoff happens
the first weekend after the New Year.
132
00:08:48,403 --> 00:08:53,283
And on the day of kickoff,
we'd unveil the new challenge.
133
00:08:55,118 --> 00:08:57,162
- Good morning.
- [all] Good morning!
134
00:08:58,204 --> 00:09:00,749
I'm excited. I've been waiting
to find out this game for a while.
135
00:09:00,749 --> 00:09:02,751
That's just all I've been thinking.
136
00:09:02,751 --> 00:09:07,047
Excitement, mostly,
to start creating a new robot
137
00:09:07,047 --> 00:09:09,632
and process more information.
138
00:09:09,716 --> 00:09:13,053
[female interviewer]
139
00:09:13,053 --> 00:09:15,263
- A bit.
- [laughs]
140
00:09:15,347 --> 00:09:19,976
[crowd] Five, four, three, two, one!
141
00:09:20,060 --> 00:09:22,771
[cheering, applauding]
142
00:09:23,563 --> 00:09:28,443
[man] Welcome to the 2020
FIRST Robotics Competition Kickoff.
143
00:09:28,443 --> 00:09:33,656
Now this season, The FIRST Rise,
powered by Star Wars: Force for Change,
144
00:09:33,740 --> 00:09:39,412
inspires us to work together to strengthen
and protect the force that binds us all.
145
00:09:39,954 --> 00:09:43,666
Our friends at Disney and Lucasfilm
are right behind you,
146
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:45,418
cheering on your success.
147
00:09:45,502 --> 00:09:47,629
So right now, let's hear from them.
148
00:09:47,629 --> 00:09:49,798
[cheering]
149
00:09:49,798 --> 00:09:52,550
Hello, FIRST teams.
I'm Mark Hamill, and welcome...
150
00:09:54,594 --> 00:09:57,389
to the 2019-2020 season.
151
00:09:57,389 --> 00:10:00,850
This year, FIRST is teaming up with
Disney and Lucasfilm
152
00:10:00,934 --> 00:10:03,812
as part of the
Star Wars: Force for Change initiative.
153
00:10:04,604 --> 00:10:07,190
[Kamen] Each year,
we create an engineering challenge
154
00:10:07,190 --> 00:10:10,318
that's entirely different
from the year before,
155
00:10:10,902 --> 00:10:13,947
and we work really hard to make sure
156
00:10:13,947 --> 00:10:19,411
that there is no obvious best strategy
to win the game.
157
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,998
[Hamill] In Infinite Recharge,
forces threaten the future of FIRST City.
158
00:10:24,708 --> 00:10:26,876
With assistance from your trusty droids,
159
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,921
you and your crew will race
to overcome obstacles
160
00:10:30,005 --> 00:10:34,509
and collect renewable energy cells
to charge your city's Shield Generator
161
00:10:34,509 --> 00:10:35,719
and protect FIRST City.
162
00:10:35,719 --> 00:10:37,846
Through the power of collaboration,
163
00:10:37,846 --> 00:10:41,349
you will bring hope and strengthen
the force that binds us all,
164
00:10:41,433 --> 00:10:43,935
so that together we rise.
165
00:10:44,894 --> 00:10:47,772
[crowd cheering, applauding]
166
00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:53,820
[Kamen] In their eyes,
you see simultaneously two things:
167
00:10:54,612 --> 00:10:56,948
excitement and terror,
168
00:10:57,032 --> 00:10:59,993
because they're thinking,
"Where do I start?"
169
00:11:00,869 --> 00:11:02,370
[girl] This is gonna be hard.
170
00:11:05,206 --> 00:11:07,959
[Kamen]
Just as we change the game every year,
171
00:11:08,043 --> 00:11:10,920
we change what's in the kit every year.
172
00:11:11,004 --> 00:11:15,842
And sometimes the kids will ask,
"Where are the assembly instructions?"
173
00:11:15,842 --> 00:11:17,218
"There are no instructions!
174
00:11:17,302 --> 00:11:18,928
We don't even know
what you're gonna build."
175
00:11:19,929 --> 00:11:21,264
What is this over here?
176
00:11:21,765 --> 00:11:22,766
That's a good question.
177
00:11:22,766 --> 00:11:24,893
- That's what I'm trying to figure out.
- You see the lights?
178
00:11:24,893 --> 00:11:26,144
[Kamen] Typically, by the way,
179
00:11:26,144 --> 00:11:31,191
the kids come up with
more ingenious ways to state the problem.
180
00:11:31,191 --> 00:11:34,235
It's gonna go over the bar, hook under,
and then the pulley is gonna have--
181
00:11:34,319 --> 00:11:36,863
be hooked up to a motor
and be able to move around the bar.
182
00:11:36,863 --> 00:11:40,950
So you have just one robot on there,
and it's level, you'll get 15 points.
183
00:11:41,034 --> 00:11:42,660
[Kamen] As Einstein said,
184
00:11:42,744 --> 00:11:45,246
"Imagination
is more important than knowledge."
185
00:11:45,955 --> 00:11:49,584
The kids have the imagination
to come up with a really neat way
186
00:11:49,584 --> 00:11:51,586
that we can solve this problem.
187
00:11:51,670 --> 00:11:56,549
But they don't have the knowledge
that can take the engineering tools
188
00:11:56,633 --> 00:11:58,885
and turn
this great imagination into reality.
189
00:11:59,511 --> 00:12:01,054
That's where the mentors come in.
190
00:12:02,097 --> 00:12:06,393
The kids have the enthusiasm
to try some really big idea,
191
00:12:06,393 --> 00:12:10,230
and the mentors have a way to figure out
how to implement it.
192
00:12:13,191 --> 00:12:16,528
It's gonna take the whole day
for the teams to understand,
193
00:12:16,528 --> 00:12:19,155
"How do you play this game?
How do you get the most points?
194
00:12:19,239 --> 00:12:20,824
How do you work with each other?"
195
00:12:21,825 --> 00:12:23,201
In the game reveal,
196
00:12:23,201 --> 00:12:26,705
we saw that there's a bunch of
different elements we have to deal with.
197
00:12:28,164 --> 00:12:31,835
The game is played
Red Alliance versus Blue Alliance.
198
00:12:32,585 --> 00:12:35,171
Each alliance is made up of three teams.
199
00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:40,844
The goal is to score more points
than the other alliance.
200
00:12:41,636 --> 00:12:45,890
You score points by shooting yellow
foam balls, also known as Power Cells,
201
00:12:45,974 --> 00:12:47,517
into the goals.
202
00:12:48,435 --> 00:12:52,689
You get more points for the higher goals
and fewer points for the lower goals.
203
00:12:53,815 --> 00:12:55,025
At the end of the game,
204
00:12:55,025 --> 00:12:57,986
your robot can score additional points
by climbing the Seesaw,
205
00:12:58,945 --> 00:13:02,282
also known as the Shield Generator switch,
and hanging.
206
00:13:03,533 --> 00:13:07,871
If you balance the Seesaw, making it
level, your alliance scores extra points.
207
00:13:09,289 --> 00:13:11,374
No part of the robot can touch the ground.
208
00:13:15,420 --> 00:13:18,340
I'm feeling kind of relieved
now that I know what's going on,
209
00:13:18,340 --> 00:13:20,008
but now it's a little daunting.
210
00:13:20,008 --> 00:13:22,093
[chattering]
211
00:13:22,177 --> 00:13:24,429
Now it's time to put the field together.
212
00:13:24,429 --> 00:13:27,432
We're trying to make sure that we have
a field that represents the game
213
00:13:27,432 --> 00:13:28,725
as much as possible.
214
00:13:29,225 --> 00:13:30,894
We're gonna start a game simulation,
215
00:13:30,894 --> 00:13:33,438
and we're gonna try to act out
what we would do.
216
00:13:33,938 --> 00:13:36,566
[simulation leader] So, there's gonna be
six rolling chairs, six students.
217
00:13:36,566 --> 00:13:39,694
Um, one on each chair.
You guys are the robots.
218
00:13:39,778 --> 00:13:41,237
The point of the simulation
219
00:13:41,321 --> 00:13:44,032
is to kind of understand how the robots
will interact with the field.
220
00:13:44,032 --> 00:13:46,242
- Anyone interested in being a robot?
- I want to be a robot.
221
00:13:46,326 --> 00:13:47,702
- I want to be a robot.
- Kayleigh.
222
00:13:47,786 --> 00:13:51,498
Garret. Connor. Jacob. Lyle.
223
00:13:51,498 --> 00:13:53,208
[screams, laughs]
224
00:13:54,125 --> 00:13:56,002
[boy] Now we're on this side.
225
00:13:56,086 --> 00:13:57,545
All right, good.
226
00:13:57,629 --> 00:13:59,631
[chattering]
227
00:14:03,468 --> 00:14:04,469
[boy 2] Ow, my legs!
228
00:14:05,095 --> 00:14:06,096
Got one in.
229
00:14:07,597 --> 00:14:08,473
[screams]
230
00:14:11,851 --> 00:14:13,353
- Yeah!
- [laughs]
231
00:14:13,353 --> 00:14:16,439
[cheering]
232
00:14:17,065 --> 00:14:19,776
[chattering]
233
00:14:19,776 --> 00:14:22,487
What are the present--
Go over the agenda for today maybe.
234
00:14:22,487 --> 00:14:24,030
So everyone's on the same page.
235
00:14:24,114 --> 00:14:26,199
[girl] We had already picked up
our kit of parts.
236
00:14:26,199 --> 00:14:28,660
I feel like we just need
to do inventory soon.
237
00:14:29,244 --> 00:14:33,039
Design team needs to take lead
of the designing of the robot.
238
00:14:34,749 --> 00:14:37,836
[woman] I got to know FIRST
through, actually, my husband
239
00:14:37,836 --> 00:14:39,879
who, you know, when I married him...
240
00:14:39,963 --> 00:14:42,674
A year or two in our marriage, he's like,
"There's this thing called FIRST."
241
00:14:42,674 --> 00:14:46,886
He would leave me for weekends at a time
and be gone to this thing.
242
00:14:46,970 --> 00:14:48,138
I was like, "Okay."
243
00:14:48,138 --> 00:14:51,558
Like, he's really dedicated to service
and I love that about him, right?
244
00:14:51,558 --> 00:14:53,476
And I had no idea it was actually "cool."
245
00:14:55,228 --> 00:14:58,189
What really got me hooked was
when I went to their first competition.
246
00:14:58,273 --> 00:15:01,151
I saw, like, mascots.
I saw music. I saw people dancing.
247
00:15:01,151 --> 00:15:03,028
I saw parents there.
248
00:15:03,028 --> 00:15:05,238
It was, like, a stadium of excited people.
249
00:15:05,238 --> 00:15:07,907
I'm like, "This is a hidden treasure
that no one knows about.
250
00:15:07,991 --> 00:15:08,992
This is so cool."
251
00:15:12,412 --> 00:15:14,497
I knew that I got bit by the FIRST bug.
252
00:15:14,581 --> 00:15:17,250
It was that competition
that got it for me.
253
00:15:17,250 --> 00:15:18,752
I'm a science teacher at my school,
254
00:15:18,752 --> 00:15:20,962
so that's why I decided
to start the TeraWatts.
255
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,592
I'm a little competitive.
256
00:15:25,592 --> 00:15:26,760
Just a little bit.
257
00:15:27,260 --> 00:15:28,803
[laughs] For the first two years,
258
00:15:28,887 --> 00:15:32,015
my husband purposely didn't want to
sign us up for the same competition.
259
00:15:32,015 --> 00:15:34,392
He would always say,
"That didn't work out with our schedule."
260
00:15:34,476 --> 00:15:36,686
I'm like, "I secretly know."
261
00:15:36,770 --> 00:15:39,356
But it's not him that's making me
competitive at all.
262
00:15:39,356 --> 00:15:41,524
It's just, like, my own competitiveness.
263
00:15:41,608 --> 00:15:42,901
But he does so much to help.
264
00:15:42,901 --> 00:15:46,154
- It helps that I am not competitive.
- Yeah, we're opposites.
265
00:15:47,989 --> 00:15:49,991
[chattering]
266
00:15:50,075 --> 00:15:51,076
[girl] Whoo!
267
00:16:10,804 --> 00:16:13,682
[chattering]
268
00:16:13,682 --> 00:16:17,644
[woman] If you go to, like, LA Regional
and you read the game manual,
269
00:16:17,644 --> 00:16:20,730
it tells you, like,
list of stuff you need for inspection.
270
00:16:20,814 --> 00:16:23,066
So, one thing that you guys
are gonna work on this weekend
271
00:16:23,066 --> 00:16:24,651
is the bill of materials.
272
00:16:24,651 --> 00:16:26,820
It's like the inventory.
273
00:16:26,820 --> 00:16:29,447
You make a list of everything
that's on the robot.
274
00:16:29,531 --> 00:16:32,826
Mm-hmm.
And so there's a template I uploaded...
275
00:16:32,826 --> 00:16:36,830
[Fatima] So our team's about 15 kids.
We have about three to four mentors.
276
00:16:38,039 --> 00:16:41,501
So it's a smaller school
in a low-income neighborhood in Watts.
277
00:16:41,501 --> 00:16:44,045
This thing can slide and it could snap,
and we don't want that.
278
00:16:44,129 --> 00:16:45,880
- We definitely don't want that.
- Probably...
279
00:16:45,964 --> 00:16:47,924
[Fatima] We actually don't even have
a room to work in.
280
00:16:48,591 --> 00:16:49,801
We work in a hallway.
281
00:16:51,261 --> 00:16:54,681
Our team, in particular,
doesn't have a lot of funding.
282
00:16:55,598 --> 00:16:57,642
But the past two seasons
we've had pretty good robots
283
00:16:57,726 --> 00:17:00,770
that have worked and played the game
using our tools.
284
00:17:00,854 --> 00:17:03,857
So, I think it's great to show
that we don't need, you know,
285
00:17:03,857 --> 00:17:07,027
fancy-schmancy equipment
to be able to have a working robot.
286
00:17:07,027 --> 00:17:09,237
You're gonna have to take it off.
You wanna take this piece off.
287
00:17:09,237 --> 00:17:10,321
- There it is.
- [boy] Yeah.
288
00:17:10,405 --> 00:17:13,950
We'll take it off, put a washer, so...
'Cause it looks like it's not durable.
289
00:17:14,034 --> 00:17:15,118
Take out the arms.
290
00:17:15,118 --> 00:17:18,246
[Fatima] What FIRST does is that
it doesn't tell kids what to do
291
00:17:18,246 --> 00:17:19,539
or show them how to do it.
292
00:17:19,539 --> 00:17:20,874
They have to figure it out.
293
00:17:20,874 --> 00:17:23,752
There's a problem.
There's roadblocks, like real life.
294
00:17:24,419 --> 00:17:27,255
And it was hard in the beginning
when we first started this team.
295
00:17:27,339 --> 00:17:29,716
I had to tell them,
"I know this is not like school.
296
00:17:29,716 --> 00:17:31,801
Because you're used to
having a worksheet."
297
00:17:32,594 --> 00:17:34,346
So that's when I see
the lightbulb going off,
298
00:17:34,346 --> 00:17:36,348
when they realize
it's a different type of learning.
299
00:17:36,348 --> 00:17:40,852
We figured out that the shooter actually
fits in here without it obstructing this.
300
00:17:40,852 --> 00:17:43,897
So what we're gonna do is
we're gonna bring these closer together.
301
00:17:44,439 --> 00:17:48,151
So they could actually go up, like,
without any obstruction.
302
00:17:48,151 --> 00:17:50,153
Did you guys figure out
how to mount it on here?
303
00:17:50,153 --> 00:17:53,198
- 'Cause that was the other question I had.
- We need to put in--
304
00:17:53,198 --> 00:17:55,658
- How it's gonna travel up there.
- Look. That's the shooter.
305
00:17:55,742 --> 00:17:59,120
[boy 2] It's not how it looks in
the thing, but, you know, problem-solving.
306
00:17:59,204 --> 00:18:01,373
That's why kids stay.
Because it's something that--
307
00:18:01,373 --> 00:18:03,208
It annoys them,
but it keeps them coming back.
308
00:18:03,208 --> 00:18:07,462
'Cause they're like, "This is frustrating,
but we need to figure it out," you know?
309
00:18:07,462 --> 00:18:09,381
Now, we got all our motors working.
310
00:18:09,923 --> 00:18:11,383
It can't go forward or back.
311
00:18:12,133 --> 00:18:13,927
All it does is basically just spin.
312
00:18:14,803 --> 00:18:17,639
[Fatima] The pros of having a small team
is everyone knows each other,
313
00:18:17,639 --> 00:18:18,973
and you form that bond.
314
00:18:19,057 --> 00:18:21,726
The con, though, is that, unfortunately,
we don't have the hands.
315
00:18:22,394 --> 00:18:23,812
[boy] That's left. And that's right.
316
00:18:23,812 --> 00:18:26,856
[Fatima] Aaron is the one kid that knows
everything about every part of the robot.
317
00:18:26,940 --> 00:18:28,858
It's like the gears
are fighting each other.
318
00:18:28,942 --> 00:18:31,861
[Fatima] 'Cause he's so passionate,
wherever help is needed, like, he'll go.
319
00:18:32,445 --> 00:18:34,072
But he does everything.
320
00:18:34,072 --> 00:18:39,035
Wiring. Coding. Building.
Aaron does all that.
321
00:18:39,536 --> 00:18:41,871
- Did you misunderstand the problem?
- [Aaron] Not really.
322
00:18:41,955 --> 00:18:43,540
[whirring]
323
00:18:45,250 --> 00:18:46,251
[horn honks]
324
00:18:47,752 --> 00:18:50,380
[Aaron]
Some people, they're afraid of change.
325
00:18:51,047 --> 00:18:53,049
I'm not really that kind of person.
326
00:18:53,675 --> 00:18:56,886
Because you don't know what you like
or what your passion is
327
00:18:56,970 --> 00:18:58,638
until you try new things.
328
00:19:00,849 --> 00:19:03,059
Before I joined the team,
I played football.
329
00:19:03,143 --> 00:19:06,021
I played basketball.
And I was interested in anime.
330
00:19:07,689 --> 00:19:10,650
At first, I learned about coding
back in sixth grade,
331
00:19:10,734 --> 00:19:12,736
but I didn't really connect with it.
332
00:19:12,736 --> 00:19:14,696
So I didn't really like it that much.
333
00:19:21,911 --> 00:19:24,914
[woman] As a kid,
Aaron was kinda like in his shell.
334
00:19:24,998 --> 00:19:29,127
He was really just to himself.
335
00:19:29,127 --> 00:19:32,505
He really never bothered nobody.
He was just to himself.
336
00:19:33,381 --> 00:19:34,799
Before he got into robotics,
337
00:19:34,883 --> 00:19:38,094
he was kinda like
holding his feelings on the inside.
338
00:19:38,178 --> 00:19:40,180
But now, he's opening up more.
339
00:19:40,930 --> 00:19:44,184
[laughs]
Looks like they in little go-karts.
340
00:19:44,184 --> 00:19:46,978
[Aaron] I seen their robot.
They have a suction cup on the bottom.
341
00:19:47,062 --> 00:19:48,646
- Oh.
- So it can just pull itself up.
342
00:19:48,730 --> 00:19:49,981
Wow.
343
00:19:51,232 --> 00:19:52,650
[Aaron] So one day at school,
344
00:19:52,734 --> 00:19:53,860
I look over and I--
345
00:19:53,860 --> 00:19:56,029
All I see is a... [imitates zooming]
I'm like, "What is that?"
346
00:19:56,029 --> 00:19:59,366
So, at first, I'm like,
"Hey. That's a nice robot."
347
00:19:59,366 --> 00:20:02,243
And I'm like, "Can I drive it?"
He goes, "Well, no, you cannot."
348
00:20:02,994 --> 00:20:04,913
And then he told me about
the robotics program.
349
00:20:04,913 --> 00:20:07,499
When I showed up after school,
I realized why he didn't let me drive it.
350
00:20:07,499 --> 00:20:11,252
Because I started to drive it.
It was hard to control.
351
00:20:11,753 --> 00:20:13,797
So then I joined the team after that.
352
00:20:14,798 --> 00:20:19,052
Something was just sparked
that he loved about it, and he kept going.
353
00:20:19,052 --> 00:20:21,930
I mean, getting up at 6:30 in the morning,
telling me, "I'm gone!"
354
00:20:22,639 --> 00:20:24,099
"Wait, hold on. On a Saturday?"
355
00:20:24,808 --> 00:20:26,893
- Wow.
- Look how it do get back in its seat.
356
00:20:26,893 --> 00:20:28,144
Uh-huh.
357
00:20:28,228 --> 00:20:31,272
[male announcer]
Oh! High Rollers' hook fell off.
358
00:20:31,356 --> 00:20:32,357
[Rhonda] Let me drive it.
359
00:20:32,357 --> 00:20:33,483
[chuckles]
360
00:20:33,483 --> 00:20:36,778
[Rhonda] One day, he was showing me
how he was putting a robot together.
361
00:20:36,778 --> 00:20:38,655
I was like, "How you do it that fast?"
362
00:20:38,655 --> 00:20:42,409
And he goes, like, he said,
"Mama, it's all in the skills.
363
00:20:42,409 --> 00:20:43,993
It's all in the skills."
364
00:20:51,126 --> 00:20:52,502
[Aaron] I like coding a lot
365
00:20:52,502 --> 00:20:54,671
because you're the one
who's in charge, basically.
366
00:20:54,671 --> 00:20:58,091
And people, if they don't understand it,
they have to come to you.
367
00:20:59,009 --> 00:21:02,470
But building robots is hard to figure out.
368
00:21:02,554 --> 00:21:04,180
What code are you running?
369
00:21:04,264 --> 00:21:07,308
We're running 6904 Code 2020.
370
00:21:07,392 --> 00:21:09,894
- Does it have autonomous in it?
- [Aaron] No, it does not.
371
00:21:10,395 --> 00:21:14,190
And just getting that code to work
took about an hour-- hour and a half.
372
00:21:14,816 --> 00:21:18,278
I actually like it because if it doesn't
go right the first time,
373
00:21:18,278 --> 00:21:22,323
just keep trying and trying again
until you actually, like, get it right.
374
00:21:30,165 --> 00:21:31,374
[horn honks]
375
00:21:38,006 --> 00:21:41,259
[girl] Right now, I go to college
in St. Paul, Minnesota.
376
00:21:41,343 --> 00:21:45,013
But I usually come back to Japan
during summer and winter
377
00:21:45,764 --> 00:21:49,100
'cause I'm mentoring a robotics team here.
378
00:21:51,394 --> 00:21:55,523
I'm a double major in Neuroscience
and Psychology,
379
00:21:55,607 --> 00:21:58,610
and I've been thinking to minor in Dance.
380
00:21:59,277 --> 00:22:04,199
I think, probably, dancing ballet
is the fun thing I do.
381
00:22:05,283 --> 00:22:09,412
In addition to that,
I'm also part of a rocketry team,
382
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,457
so it's keeping me very busy.
383
00:22:14,626 --> 00:22:17,045
[in Japanese]
384
00:22:17,545 --> 00:22:19,214
[Kanon] When I was in ninth grade,
385
00:22:19,214 --> 00:22:24,219
I applied to a high school exchange
program in Minneapolis.
386
00:22:24,219 --> 00:22:29,432
And I got to participate
in a FIRST Team called 2500 Herobotics.
387
00:22:32,060 --> 00:22:33,228
Before I joined them,
388
00:22:33,228 --> 00:22:37,065
I never expected that I was gonna be
interested in engineering.
389
00:22:38,024 --> 00:22:41,319
But the FIRST regional inspired me a lot.
390
00:22:42,112 --> 00:22:44,489
They were just so passionate about
what they were doing.
391
00:22:46,282 --> 00:22:48,159
In Japan, most high schoolers
392
00:22:48,243 --> 00:22:52,455
don't have the opportunities
to learn about engineering in-depth.
393
00:22:53,123 --> 00:22:56,292
So, it was an amazing experience for me.
394
00:22:59,045 --> 00:23:00,755
I got so determined,
395
00:23:00,839 --> 00:23:03,925
I decided that I want to start
a team in Japan.
396
00:23:04,718 --> 00:23:08,430
I wanted to help make it
accessible to everyone.
397
00:23:08,430 --> 00:23:14,102
So, I sent an e-mail to Chiba
Institute of Technology asking for help.
398
00:23:14,602 --> 00:23:17,105
[chuckling] And surprisingly,
they said yes.
399
00:23:25,780 --> 00:23:28,783
[chattering]
400
00:23:28,867 --> 00:23:30,869
[chattering in Japanese]
401
00:23:35,457 --> 00:23:37,876
[Kanon, in Japanese]
402
00:23:37,876 --> 00:23:40,045
[boy, in Japanese]
403
00:23:40,045 --> 00:23:42,339
[whirring]
404
00:23:43,340 --> 00:23:46,092
[Kanon] We're a community-based team.
405
00:23:46,176 --> 00:23:49,679
It's not like we have
a school as a workspace.
406
00:23:51,598 --> 00:23:55,518
Dr. Tomiyama was willing to give up
one of his rooms
407
00:23:56,144 --> 00:23:58,730
so that we can actually have a workspace.
408
00:24:01,316 --> 00:24:02,650
[Kanon, in Japanese]
409
00:24:03,902 --> 00:24:07,739
[man] In Japan,
FIRST Robotics Competition is unknown.
410
00:24:08,406 --> 00:24:10,325
When Kanon started this team,
411
00:24:10,325 --> 00:24:13,578
there were only three teams
in the whole entire Japan.
412
00:24:13,578 --> 00:24:15,455
So we decided to help her.
413
00:24:16,122 --> 00:24:17,123
When she started,
414
00:24:17,207 --> 00:24:19,959
she didn't have enough members
to create a team,
415
00:24:20,585 --> 00:24:22,420
so she went to her friends,
416
00:24:22,504 --> 00:24:25,757
and then community
and whoever she can talk to.
417
00:24:26,424 --> 00:24:29,469
Once she decided to do something,
she would do it.
418
00:24:29,469 --> 00:24:31,638
[chattering in Japanese]
419
00:24:32,764 --> 00:24:37,310
[Kanon] One of the reasons I never
expected to be interested in engineering
420
00:24:37,394 --> 00:24:41,439
is that I'd never seen a female engineer.
421
00:24:42,273 --> 00:24:43,983
So, I didn't think that, like,
422
00:24:44,067 --> 00:24:47,946
a girl like me can
actually succeed in the field.
423
00:24:49,072 --> 00:24:51,074
I think that's kind of ridiculous,
424
00:24:51,074 --> 00:24:55,036
but that's actually what happens
with many girls.
425
00:24:56,913 --> 00:25:00,208
Right now, both team captains are girls,
426
00:25:01,209 --> 00:25:05,088
in addition to Noi,
who is engineering captain on the team.
427
00:25:06,923 --> 00:25:11,594
[Noi, in Japanese]
428
00:25:40,498 --> 00:25:42,625
[whiring]
429
00:25:42,709 --> 00:25:45,211
[boy, in Japanese]
430
00:25:45,295 --> 00:25:50,258
[Noi, in Japanese]
431
00:25:53,094 --> 00:25:59,476
[boy, in Japanese]
432
00:26:00,435 --> 00:26:03,938
We are trying to shoot the ball
to that goal right now.
433
00:26:04,981 --> 00:26:07,192
But first, we have to be able to
intake the ball,
434
00:26:07,192 --> 00:26:08,651
so we are trying to do that.
435
00:26:09,861 --> 00:26:12,280
We don't have any time,
so it's quite hard.
436
00:26:14,407 --> 00:26:15,575
[boy 2, in Japanese]
437
00:26:16,159 --> 00:26:17,452
[whirring]
438
00:26:20,038 --> 00:26:21,456
[in Japanese]
439
00:26:25,126 --> 00:26:27,128
[Noi, in Japanese]
440
00:26:29,547 --> 00:26:30,632
[in Japanese]
441
00:26:30,632 --> 00:26:32,509
[whirring]
442
00:26:33,802 --> 00:26:35,929

[Noi, in Japanese]
445
00:27:23,309 --> 00:27:25,854
[Kanon]
In order to build the perfect robot,
446
00:27:25,854 --> 00:27:32,902
Noi comes to the workshop every day
from 5:00 a.m. until sometimes 11:00 p.m.
447
00:27:33,862 --> 00:27:37,073
She also comes from a different city.
448
00:27:37,157 --> 00:27:40,076
By train, it'll take two hours.
449
00:27:40,910 --> 00:27:44,622
[Noi, in Japanese]
450
00:27:52,213 --> 00:27:53,256
[Kanon] For some teams,
451
00:27:53,340 --> 00:27:58,928
their robots do only one
or maybe two tasks and not all of them.
452
00:27:59,429 --> 00:28:01,514
But she wants to do all of them.
453
00:28:01,598 --> 00:28:02,599
[speaking Japanese]
454
00:28:02,599 --> 00:28:04,100
[Tomiyama] They only have six weeks,
455
00:28:04,851 --> 00:28:08,188
so they tend to make mistakes
because they are in a hurry.
456
00:28:08,855 --> 00:28:09,856
[speaks Japanese]
457
00:28:11,441 --> 00:28:12,442
[speaks Japanese]
458
00:28:12,442 --> 00:28:15,695
I'm not sure whether
they are going to be successful or not,
459
00:28:15,779 --> 00:28:16,863
but they will try.
460
00:28:20,950 --> 00:28:23,578
[chattering, cheering]
461
00:28:24,245 --> 00:28:26,831
[Kamen]
One of the great things about FIRST
462
00:28:26,915 --> 00:28:29,167
is you need
absolutely no technical background
463
00:28:29,167 --> 00:28:31,920
to have a great time
and a great experience.
464
00:28:32,754 --> 00:28:36,007
There are many different areas
that kids can get involved in.
465
00:28:36,966 --> 00:28:39,803
We believe that helping each other matters
466
00:28:39,803 --> 00:28:43,181
just as much
as technical competence matters.
467
00:28:44,349 --> 00:28:48,520
Most teams have
a whole group of kids whose entire job,
468
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,897
not just during our season,
but throughout the year,
469
00:28:51,481 --> 00:28:55,318
is to promote the values of FIRST
through their community.
470
00:28:55,402 --> 00:28:57,737
And we call that the Chairman's Team.
471
00:28:58,363 --> 00:29:01,991
[boy]
472
00:29:04,494 --> 00:29:07,997
Our team has completed
over 2,000 hours of community service
473
00:29:08,081 --> 00:29:12,627
and has spread awareness to over
30,000 students in the past year itself.
474
00:29:13,211 --> 00:29:17,507
[girl] We want to make it commonplace for
girls everywhere to participate in STEM.
475
00:29:17,507 --> 00:29:20,593
[girl 2] This is why we created the book
#girlsLOVErobots.
476
00:29:20,677 --> 00:29:24,556
We hope to inspire girls from all over
and show the world...
477
00:29:24,556 --> 00:29:26,266
[all] Girls love robots!
478
00:29:26,850 --> 00:29:28,601
[applause]
479
00:29:28,685 --> 00:29:30,311
[Kamen] At the end of a season,
480
00:29:30,395 --> 00:29:35,483
we give out the Chairman's Award to a team
that has done something extraordinary.
481
00:29:35,567 --> 00:29:39,154
Let's congratulate Team 195.
482
00:29:39,154 --> 00:29:40,530
[cheering]
483
00:29:40,530 --> 00:29:43,616
[Kamen] We want all the kids
on FIRST teams to see themselves
484
00:29:43,700 --> 00:29:48,329
as a powerful network where everybody's
looking out for each other.
485
00:29:58,715 --> 00:30:01,009

[in Spanish]
490
00:30:20,403 --> 00:30:23,907
Six weeks just up to your FIRST regional,
491
00:30:23,907 --> 00:30:28,119
it's just barely enough time
to build a real machine
492
00:30:28,203 --> 00:30:29,704
that can fulfill the challenge.
493
00:30:30,747 --> 00:30:33,166
[boy 1 speaks Spanish]
494
00:30:33,166 --> 00:30:34,459

495

[whirring]
496
00:30:40,799 --> 00:30:41,925
[Victor] As a coach,
497
00:30:41,925 --> 00:30:44,928
at the same time that you're building
the machine with the students,
498
00:30:44,928 --> 00:30:49,182
you also need to take care of everything
else that the competition cares about.
499
00:30:49,683 --> 00:30:52,143
Because FIRST is not only about the robot.
500
00:30:53,061 --> 00:30:56,523
We are focusing a lot of our attention
on the Chairman's Team.
501
00:30:57,065 --> 00:31:01,528
Presenting Chairman's each year
is very, very important for our team.
502
00:31:08,993 --> 00:31:13,623

[Fatima] "Coopertition" is a combination
of cooperation and competition.

It's truly a unique aspect of FIRST
658
00:41:58,393 --> 00:42:01,730
because it teaches kids
how to cooperate and compete

00:42:01,730 --> 00:42:05,442
at exactly the same time in a world
where that usually doesn't happen.

00:42:08,028 --> 00:42:11,614
You're in an alliance, right?
It's not just "may the best robot win."

It's "may the best alliance win."
662
00:42:13,575 --> 00:42:16,202
So if you are a small team,
if you're a new team,
663
00:42:16,286 --> 00:42:18,121
you can be really good at one thing
664
00:42:18,121 --> 00:42:21,374
and you can actually be quite competitive
in a competition.
665
00:42:21,458 --> 00:42:23,668
You know, sometimes
it's better to have a robot
666
00:42:23,752 --> 00:42:27,005
that can do one thing
that's really important really well.
667
00:42:30,050 --> 00:42:34,220
And so, in our team,
when you don't have a lot of members,
668
00:42:34,304 --> 00:42:37,724
trying to make a robot that can do
three different things and do it well
669
00:42:37,724 --> 00:42:39,059
becomes almost impossible.
670
00:42:39,059 --> 00:42:41,478
So it's not a strategically good choice
to do that.
671
00:42:42,187 --> 00:42:45,106
We chose to focus
on the climbing mechanism.

00:42:45,190 --> 00:42:46,441
If we could get it to work,
673
00:42:46,441 --> 00:42:50,028
this gives us a much better shot
of being a competitive robot
674
00:42:50,028 --> 00:42:51,738
and being picked by an alliance.
675
00:42:53,990 --> 00:42:57,118
Our team has been so lucky
because we can go to 4201
676
00:42:57,202 --> 00:42:59,329
and use tools that we don't have.
677
00:43:00,622 --> 00:43:03,708
We love to invite the TeraWatts
or any other team who wants to come by
678
00:43:03,792 --> 00:43:07,212
and join us as we're all trying to learn
and trying to figure it out.
679
00:43:08,171 --> 00:43:10,256
[Fatima] I just want everyone to know
this about my husband.
680
00:43:10,340 --> 00:43:13,718
He's the best husband, and every woman
should find a partner like this.
681
00:43:14,594 --> 00:43:16,971
He does so much
because he's helping two teams.
682
00:43:17,472 --> 00:43:19,057
[whirring]
683
00:43:19,057 --> 00:43:20,684
[boy] Up we go.
684
00:43:20,684 --> 00:43:24,187
[Fatima] When we come here,
it's a game-changer for teams like ours.
685
00:43:24,187 --> 00:43:26,398
There are kids helping us.
We have their mentors.
686
00:43:26,898 --> 00:43:28,983
The kids see other teams.
They're inspired.
687
00:43:29,067 --> 00:43:31,444
They're motivated to finish their robot.
They don't feel alone.
688
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,198
Especially for our girls
to be able to see other girls.
689
00:43:35,198 --> 00:43:38,034
I'm hoping that'll inspire them
to use their voice.
690
00:43:38,118 --> 00:43:40,078
[chattering]
691
00:43:42,247 --> 00:43:44,874
What I think is beautiful
is that privilege isn't a bad thing.
692
00:43:44,958 --> 00:43:47,210
It's only a bad thing if you don't
help others with what you have.
693
00:43:47,210 --> 00:43:48,837
They're the perfect example of that.
694
00:43:50,422 --> 00:43:52,757
[Fazlul] When you're in a team together,
when you're working together,
695
00:43:52,841 --> 00:43:54,801
you're trying to help each other out.
696
00:43:54,801 --> 00:43:56,761
There's an end goal
that we're trying to reach.
697
00:43:56,845 --> 00:44:00,015
But the key is gracious professionalism
because you don't want to burn a bridge.
698
00:44:00,015 --> 00:44:02,726
You don't know if that person
that you're working with and talking to
699
00:44:02,726 --> 00:44:05,145
is somebody that you're gonna need
three months down the line,
700
00:44:05,145 --> 00:44:06,229
six months down the line.
701
00:44:06,229 --> 00:44:07,480
[chattering]
702
00:44:07,564 --> 00:44:10,108
[Fatima] We need to encourage
more teams to give back.
703
00:44:10,108 --> 00:44:12,318
Whether you're from a low-income community
or high-income--
704
00:44:12,402 --> 00:44:14,404
That's how the world
is gonna be a better place.
705
00:44:16,114 --> 00:44:17,490
Why are you-- Why are you not...
706
00:44:17,574 --> 00:44:19,034
Why robot not moving? [chuckles]
707
00:44:19,868 --> 00:44:21,661
[boy] Oh, man. Okay.
708
00:44:21,745 --> 00:44:23,496
[Aaron] All right, now it should.
709
00:44:23,580 --> 00:44:25,123
- Now it is.
- [boy] Look at that move!
710
00:44:25,123 --> 00:44:26,416
[Aaron] Hey! How's that for you?
711
00:44:28,126 --> 00:44:30,420
Getting a robot to climb is difficult.
712
00:44:32,505 --> 00:44:34,382
- [exclaims]
- [boy] Oh, it slid.
713
00:44:35,175 --> 00:44:36,760
[Aaron] Just not really working at all.
714
00:44:37,552 --> 00:44:40,305
[boy 2] We need an all-white robot.
I think we could spray-paint the entire...
715
00:44:40,305 --> 00:44:43,058
[Aaron] I don't really know
what's going down with it.
716
00:44:44,434 --> 00:44:46,895
Lot of rambling going on in my head
and fighting with each other.
717
00:44:46,895 --> 00:44:49,064
Trying to figure out what we're gonna do.
718
00:44:49,647 --> 00:44:52,734
If we actually manage to get
a complete level climb,
719
00:44:52,734 --> 00:44:54,903
we'll score a lot of points for our team.
720
00:44:54,903 --> 00:44:57,155
And we haven't made it
that far in the competition,
721
00:44:57,155 --> 00:44:59,783
so hopefully this year
we'll do a little better.
722
00:44:59,783 --> 00:45:02,035
[clattering]
723
00:45:02,035 --> 00:45:03,453
Oh.
724
00:45:05,497 --> 00:45:08,249
I've been working on
writing code for this.
725
00:45:08,333 --> 00:45:12,837
It's gonna make use of a sensor,
which Malcolm is hooking up now.
726
00:45:17,801 --> 00:45:19,469
We're finally working as a team.
727
00:45:19,469 --> 00:45:23,973
I had my doubts at first
as to how we would make the transition.
728
00:45:24,557 --> 00:45:26,851
But everything
is beginning to come together.
729
00:45:26,935 --> 00:45:29,104
- Yeah!
- [applause]
730
00:45:29,688 --> 00:45:33,149
[Jacob] I always wondered
how Microsoft Windows exists
731
00:45:33,233 --> 00:45:35,777
because it seems
so intricate and complicated.
732
00:45:35,777 --> 00:45:39,406
It turns out it was a team effort.
Not just one person.
733
00:45:39,406 --> 00:45:42,826
Currently, we're experimenting with how
we're gonna use our double-roller design.
734
00:45:42,826 --> 00:45:45,537
We're working on
the belly pan for our new robot.
735
00:45:45,537 --> 00:45:50,208
And this is basically, all of the wires
and major modules go on here.
736
00:45:50,208 --> 00:45:53,795
...working on wire management
and also securing all the electronics.
737
00:45:54,379 --> 00:45:57,632
[Fazlul] It's absolutely amazing to see
these kids working together.
738
00:45:58,383 --> 00:46:01,511
When you have to build a robot
in a matter of six weeks,
739
00:46:01,511 --> 00:46:05,015
it's impossible for a single student
to do that by themselves.
740
00:46:05,598 --> 00:46:08,018
And so this is when
the realization comes in
741
00:46:08,018 --> 00:46:10,979
that they cannot do everything themselves.
742
00:46:10,979 --> 00:46:14,315
They have to work with a team
to be able to do it.
743
00:46:14,399 --> 00:46:15,775
Let's go!
744
00:46:15,859 --> 00:46:19,362
I'm excited to see what our team can do.
745
00:46:24,451 --> 00:46:26,828
Very often, during the regional,
things will pop up,
746
00:46:26,828 --> 00:46:30,123
and we'll need somebody to either help
our team, another team,
747
00:46:30,123 --> 00:46:31,750
or maybe the event in general.
748
00:46:31,750 --> 00:46:34,836
We are hosting the regional here,
and we wanna make sure it's successful
749
00:46:34,836 --> 00:46:38,256
and we wanna continue to host
the regionals here for years to come.
750
00:46:47,223 --> 00:46:50,268
[man, in Spanish]
751

- [laughs]
- [chattering]
757
00:47:54,332 --> 00:47:57,627
[Mariana] The competition in Sacramento
is coming quickly.
758
00:47:58,545 --> 00:48:01,548
[in Spanish]
759
00:48:19,107 --> 00:48:20,734
It's a lot of pressure
760
00:48:20,734 --> 00:48:23,695
because it's like the whole team
is depending on you.
761
00:48:25,071 --> 00:48:27,782
[girl, in Spanish]
762
00:48:29,951 --> 00:48:31,828
[in Spanish]
763
00:48:32,370 --> 00:48:36,833
Chairman's is the most prestigious award
in the whole competition.
764
00:48:37,917 --> 00:48:41,463
So, I want the speech to be perfect.
765
00:48:41,463 --> 00:48:43,882
[in Spanish]
766
00:49:03,526 --> 00:49:06,488

[Mariana, in Spanish]
769
00:51:01,394 --> 00:51:05,523
[Victor] I think that's how Nautilus
gives something to the society.
770
00:51:06,649 --> 00:51:08,360
Believing in others
771
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:13,406
and trying to make them understand
that the world could be a good place.
772
00:51:14,991 --> 00:51:17,786
That's the FIRST values at its most,
right?
773
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:24,084
The kids are becoming agents of change
that this world needs
774
00:51:24,084 --> 00:51:25,960
in order to make it a better world.
775
00:51:28,088 --> 00:51:30,965
[Mariana, girl in Spanish]

[Noi]

[man]
782
00:52:08,044 --> 00:52:12,924
[Kanon] We hold this sponsor night
at the end of building season every year
783
00:52:13,008 --> 00:52:15,885
to appreciate everyone who supported us,
784
00:52:15,969 --> 00:52:19,806
especially our friends,
family and the sponsors.
785
00:52:19,806 --> 00:52:22,392
[chattering in Japanese]
786
00:52:22,392 --> 00:52:23,727
[speaks Japanese]
787
00:52:23,727 --> 00:52:26,604
[girl, in Japanese]
788
00:52:26,688 --> 00:52:29,691
[Kanon] When we first started the team,
789
00:52:29,691 --> 00:52:33,111
we had so much difficulty
finding sponsors.
790
00:52:33,987 --> 00:52:35,905
In Japan, it's really unheard of
791
00:52:35,989 --> 00:52:39,451
that companies support
high school organizations.
792
00:52:40,827 --> 00:52:43,997
We don't usually have
extracurricular activities.
793
00:52:45,540 --> 00:52:50,128
It's just really important to show
that we have a finished robot.
794
00:52:50,962 --> 00:52:53,715
We just need
those resources to keep running.
795
00:52:54,883 --> 00:52:59,554
Hopefully, we'll be able to finish
everything in three hours. [laughs]
796
00:53:03,391 --> 00:53:05,143
[in Japanese]
797
00:53:06,227 --> 00:53:08,063
[Tomiyama] The robot is not completed yet.
798
00:53:09,022 --> 00:53:14,736
The season's not going as planned because
we were going to go to the China Regional
799
00:53:14,736 --> 00:53:17,572
but that was canceled
because of this coronavirus.
800
00:53:18,406 --> 00:53:24,371
So now they can go to the United States
to compete and they are excited for that.
801
00:53:25,497 --> 00:53:26,790
I'm sure they can do it.
802
00:53:30,085 --> 00:53:34,297

[Tomiyama chuckles]
821
00:55:49,015 --> 00:55:52,477
[Tomiyama] Nobody would say they are
satisfied with what they have done.
822
00:55:53,561 --> 00:55:56,398
They found out what they can do,
what they cannot do.
823
00:55:56,398 --> 00:55:59,192
And that awareness is very important.
824
00:56:01,277 --> 00:56:02,404
If you're making robots,
825
00:56:02,404 --> 00:56:04,948
you make mistakes
again and again and again
826
00:56:04,948 --> 00:56:06,741
before the robot really works.
827
00:56:08,326 --> 00:56:11,079
But with this competition
coming very fast,
828
00:56:11,788 --> 00:56:13,164
boy, that's tough.
829
00:56:13,248 --> 00:56:14,249
[laughs]
830
00:56:15,709 --> 00:56:17,460
[Kanon] We had some problems.
831
00:56:18,837 --> 00:56:21,172
We definitely need to keep working.
832
00:56:21,798 --> 00:56:25,969
I hope we will have enough time to,
like, finish our robot.
833
00:56:28,013 --> 00:56:30,473
But who knows? [laughs]

- Good morning, LA!
- [cheering]
837

Welcome to the 2020
FIRST Robotics Competition.
838

Are you ready to rise?

[Kamen] These kids work really hard
each year to build a robot.
842
00:57:16,853 --> 00:57:19,189
There is so much work to do
to design this thing,
843
00:57:19,189 --> 00:57:22,859
assemble this thing, test this thing,
learn how to drive this thing,
844
00:57:22,859 --> 00:57:25,695
and these kids deserve
their moment in the sun.
845
00:57:27,030 --> 00:57:29,783
[Jacob] In a regional competition,
you can win the event,
846
00:57:29,783 --> 00:57:34,996
or you can win an award, and that will
advance you to the World Championships.
847
00:57:36,664 --> 00:57:40,043
I'm excited. I've been waiting
for this day for so long.
848
00:57:41,044 --> 00:57:43,088
We were behind on a lot of stuff,
849
00:57:43,088 --> 00:57:46,758
but we pushed through
all the challenges we have.
850
00:57:46,758 --> 00:57:48,259
We got back on track.
851
00:57:49,886 --> 00:57:51,096
[Aaron] We made a lot of progress.
852
00:57:52,013 --> 00:57:53,181
We got the climber to work,
853
00:57:53,181 --> 00:57:55,392
so all our hard work wasn't for nothing.
854
00:57:56,476 --> 00:57:58,895
Now we're all just getting ready
for the first match.
855
00:58:02,732 --> 00:58:04,609
[Fatima]
The way that qualification matches work
856
00:58:04,693 --> 00:58:07,112
is you're randomly placed
in an alliance of three robots
857
00:58:07,112 --> 00:58:09,114
against another random three robots.
858
00:58:09,989 --> 00:58:12,575
You might be working with
a team in one match,
859
00:58:12,659 --> 00:58:14,911
but in the next qualification match
you might be against that team.
860
00:58:14,911 --> 00:58:16,538
So it's a lot of strategizing,
861
00:58:16,538 --> 00:58:18,415
a lot of trying to get in their head
and figure out,
862
00:58:18,415 --> 00:58:20,208
"How do we work together well?"
863
00:58:21,334 --> 00:58:22,585
And then when we go to finals,
864
00:58:22,669 --> 00:58:25,630
the top eight teams
get to pick their alliance partners.
865
00:58:26,297 --> 00:58:29,134
And if your alliance wins the competition,
866
00:58:29,759 --> 00:58:32,095
all three teams
get to go to Championships.
867
00:58:32,929 --> 00:58:38,101
[emcee] So our first match,
starting off with our alliance captains.
868
00:58:38,101 --> 00:58:41,813
Let's hear it for Team 4201.
869
00:58:41,813 --> 00:58:43,982
- [announcer] The Vitruvian Bots!
- [cheering]
870
00:58:43,982 --> 00:58:45,734
[applause]
871
00:58:45,734 --> 00:58:47,277
Yeah. There they are.
872
00:58:47,277 --> 00:58:51,740
[emcee] Three. Two. One. Go!
873
00:58:51,740 --> 00:58:53,158
[fanfare plays]
874
00:58:54,034 --> 00:58:56,327
[announcer] Vitruvian Bots launching.
875
00:58:57,162 --> 00:58:58,788
[Jacob] For the first 15 seconds,
876
00:58:58,872 --> 00:59:02,834
all of the robots are operating
by themselves, autonomously.
877
00:59:04,461 --> 00:59:07,130
So we only end up shooting one
and that one fails.
878
00:59:07,130 --> 00:59:08,798
- [buzzer sounds]
- [bell chimes]
879
00:59:09,424 --> 00:59:13,928
Now the drivers
have taken control of the robot.
880
00:59:14,012 --> 00:59:15,597
The objective of the game
881
00:59:15,597 --> 00:59:21,353
is to score as many balls
or Power Cells into the Power Ports.
882
00:59:21,353 --> 00:59:23,313
[boy] Shooting. Shooting. Shooting.
883
00:59:23,313 --> 00:59:26,983
[Jacob] We get five Power Cells
into the upper port.
884
00:59:27,692 --> 00:59:28,693
Very accurate.
885
00:59:29,402 --> 00:59:31,404
[boy] We're going. Shoot, shoot, shoot.
886
00:59:32,155 --> 00:59:36,326
[Jacob] There are a few robots that will
try to keep us from scoring those points.
887
00:59:36,326 --> 00:59:38,495
- [girl] Oh, nice.
- Come back. Come back. Come back.
888
00:59:38,995 --> 00:59:40,455
[emcee] Going back in again!
889
00:59:40,455 --> 00:59:44,376
[Jacob] The Red Alliance
is currently leading, and if we climb,
890
00:59:44,376 --> 00:59:46,628
we're probably going to win.
891
00:59:46,628 --> 00:59:48,421
[boy] All right. Climbing.
892
00:59:48,505 --> 00:59:50,382
[announcer]
Red Alliance has a clear advantage.
893
00:59:51,132 --> 00:59:53,426
And the Vitruvian Bots continue.
894
00:59:54,636 --> 00:59:55,845
Here come the Vitruvian Bots.
895
00:59:55,929 --> 00:59:59,599
Seven seconds left. Can they do it?
They get up. Will they balance?
896
00:59:59,683 --> 01:00:02,644
Three. Two. One.
897
01:00:02,644 --> 01:00:04,062
- [buzzer sounds]
- [cheering]
898
01:00:04,062 --> 01:00:06,481
- And at the last second...
- Yes! Nice work.
899
01:00:08,066 --> 01:00:10,193
That is one high-performance robot.
900
01:00:11,361 --> 01:00:16,533
And the Red Alliance powers up the Shield,
defending FIRST City.
901
01:00:16,533 --> 01:00:18,368
[Jacob] I'm so proud of this match.
902
01:00:19,536 --> 01:00:24,999
The ability for a robot
to balance by itself was really key for us
903
01:00:25,083 --> 01:00:27,544
because it allowed it
to get those extra points.
904
01:00:31,172 --> 01:00:34,134
[Fatima] It's a lot to think about.
You guys got it. If you work as a team...
905
01:00:35,051 --> 01:00:37,679
Also if you go there early,
the other robots aren't going to be there.
906
01:00:37,679 --> 01:00:38,847
So you can line up easier.
907
01:00:38,847 --> 01:00:41,307
You're not gonna be blocked.
Your view's not going to be blocked.
908
01:00:41,391 --> 01:00:42,475
[boy] Right.
909
01:00:42,559 --> 01:00:43,601
You got this.
910
01:00:48,732 --> 01:00:49,858
Remember. Don't go too fast.
911
01:00:49,858 --> 01:00:51,776
- Not too fast. Not too slow.
- Don't go too slow.
912
01:00:51,860 --> 01:00:53,111
- All right.
- You got it.
913
01:00:53,111 --> 01:00:55,530
We've fixed up the coding.
We got everything working.
914
01:00:56,197 --> 01:00:58,199
But I'm still nervous.
915
01:00:58,283 --> 01:01:01,119
It's just like, "Is this thing gonna work?
Is it gonna mess up?"
916
01:01:01,995 --> 01:01:04,372
Just thinking about
all the possibilities that could happen.
917
01:01:04,456 --> 01:01:07,709
- Let's hear it for 6904!
- [cheering]
918
01:01:07,709 --> 01:01:09,544
[announcer speaking, indistinct]
919
01:01:09,544 --> 01:01:12,422
Yeah, guys, you should be happy.
Enjoy this. Yeah!
920
01:01:12,422 --> 01:01:14,507
Go, TeraWatts! Whoo!
921
01:01:14,591 --> 01:01:16,426
[emcee] Drivers, behind the line!
922
01:01:17,635 --> 01:01:21,389
Three. Two. One. Go!
923
01:01:21,473 --> 01:01:22,474
[fanfare plays]
924
01:01:22,474 --> 01:01:24,142
- [announcer] And right off the bat...
- All right.
925
01:01:24,142 --> 01:01:26,269
- Two. One...
- [buzzer sounds]
926
01:01:26,353 --> 01:01:27,771
[bell chimes]
927
01:01:27,771 --> 01:01:30,899
[announcer] And the Blue Alliance
comes away with the advantage.
928
01:01:30,899 --> 01:01:32,901
It's 35-4.
929
01:01:33,902 --> 01:01:37,030
[Aaron] The strategy was just to
play defense against the other team.
930
01:01:37,030 --> 01:01:39,324
So basically stop
the other team from scoring.
931
01:01:39,908 --> 01:01:42,327
[announcer]
They're just missing the upper port!
932
01:01:42,327 --> 01:01:44,662
[Aaron] But we really need
to make sure that
933
01:01:44,746 --> 01:01:46,831
we focus on getting the robot to climb.
934
01:01:48,541 --> 01:01:51,002
Okay. You got 30 seconds. All right.
935
01:01:51,086 --> 01:01:52,712
[announcer]
...time to activate the energy shield.
936
01:01:52,796 --> 01:01:53,963
[boy] Do it.
937
01:01:54,673 --> 01:01:56,800
[Aaron] Calm down. Take it slow.
938
01:01:57,592 --> 01:01:59,803
You better not mess this up.
Better not mess this up.
939
01:01:59,803 --> 01:02:02,222
[Joana] Are you guys ready? Can we climb?
940
01:02:02,222 --> 01:02:05,266
- [boy 2] Go! Go!
- [Joana] Go, go, go. Go. Go. Go.
941
01:02:06,518 --> 01:02:09,229
[cheering]
942
01:02:10,563 --> 01:02:12,232
Let's go, guys.
943
01:02:19,072 --> 01:02:21,741
Good job, Marco.
Good job. Good job too. Good job.
944
01:02:21,825 --> 01:02:24,786
[Aaron] I felt great, excited--
happy that it actually worked.
945
01:02:24,786 --> 01:02:27,539
- How was that?
- That was pretty good, Marco. Straight up.
946
01:02:27,539 --> 01:02:30,333
I was more or less trying to stay
in the coding zone
947
01:02:30,417 --> 01:02:31,918
so I don't get too overconfident.
948
01:02:31,918 --> 01:02:34,546
[announcer] One of these teams
powered up the Generator.
949
01:02:34,546 --> 01:02:36,923
One of these teams defended FIRST City!
950
01:02:37,007 --> 01:02:38,425
[cheering]
951
01:02:38,425 --> 01:02:40,593
[Aaron] We end up losing the first match.
952
01:02:41,136 --> 01:02:44,639
But if other teams see
that you have a pretty good climber,
953
01:02:44,723 --> 01:02:48,393
they'll want to choose you for an alliance
because it could help them out.
954
01:02:49,769 --> 01:02:52,439
Yeah, that's right. That was awesome.
955
01:02:52,439 --> 01:02:56,609
You went back early. You guys lined up.
You made the double climb.
956
01:02:56,693 --> 01:02:59,279
I mean, dude, what more do you want?
957
01:02:59,279 --> 01:03:01,197
I mean, maybe winning the match.
But whatever.
958
01:03:01,948 --> 01:03:05,285
This is actually the first time we have
been competing in the same event together.
959
01:03:05,285 --> 01:03:06,703
- On purpose.
- [laughs]
960
01:03:07,370 --> 01:03:11,958
He-- Yeah, he would-- Well, I--
It might ruin our marriage, so--
961
01:03:12,042 --> 01:03:14,878
Somebody's a little competitive.
I'm not gonna say who.
962
01:03:15,754 --> 01:03:19,007
[emcee] Three, two, one! Go!
963
01:03:24,554 --> 01:03:25,930
Go, Red Alliance!
964
01:03:28,308 --> 01:03:29,601
Whoo!
965
01:03:29,601 --> 01:03:32,020
Hey, excuse me. Can you sit down?
I can't see my robot.
966
01:03:36,024 --> 01:03:38,234
Yeah! Whoo!
967
01:03:43,073 --> 01:03:44,616
[bell chimes]
968
01:03:45,408 --> 01:03:47,952
[boy] And we're down one. We got it.
We only got four afterwards to go.
969
01:03:48,036 --> 01:03:50,163
[announcer]
The Red Alliance takes the lead...
970
01:03:52,749 --> 01:03:55,752
[whistling, cheering]
971
01:04:01,257 --> 01:04:03,385
Yeah, we got it. We got it! Whoo!
972
01:04:04,886 --> 01:04:06,930
Love you guys so much!
973
01:04:11,685 --> 01:04:13,728
[Jacob] When you're up
in the stands, you're cheering
974
01:04:13,812 --> 01:04:16,898
not for a team that you like.
975
01:04:16,898 --> 01:04:20,068
You're cheering for your team
that you put work into.
976
01:04:20,068 --> 01:04:22,696
And you're also cheering for
your alliance members.
977
01:04:23,697 --> 01:04:25,573
Oh, and also there's scouting.
978
01:04:25,657 --> 01:04:29,035
Okay, so you guys are Red Alliance.
And these guys are Blue Alliance.
979
01:04:29,119 --> 01:04:30,120
- We're Red?
- Yeah.
980
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:32,580
You guys need to coordinate
between the three of you.
981
01:04:32,664 --> 01:04:35,834
[Jacob] You're actively collecting data
from each of the matches.
982
01:04:35,834 --> 01:04:38,003
You're just looking and it's like, uh,
983
01:04:38,003 --> 01:04:40,505
"Oh, that robot shot three Power Cells.
984
01:04:40,505 --> 01:04:41,589
Write that down.
985
01:04:42,090 --> 01:04:44,634
That robot shot four Power Cells.
Write that down.
986
01:04:46,011 --> 01:04:48,388
Ooh, A tech foul. Write that down."
987
01:04:48,388 --> 01:04:51,182
[girl] 980. No defense.
988
01:04:51,266 --> 01:04:52,559
Note their defense.
989
01:04:52,559 --> 01:04:55,812
[Jacob] That's not as fun, but still...
You're doing stuff from the stands.
990
01:04:56,312 --> 01:04:58,898
- [applause]
- [buzzer sounds]
991
01:05:00,191 --> 01:05:03,236
Then there is another kind of scouting
and that's scouting in the pits.
992
01:05:03,236 --> 01:05:04,779
Asking other teams questions.
993
01:05:04,863 --> 01:05:07,073
I'm Jacob. I'm from Team 4201.
994
01:05:07,157 --> 01:05:09,325
I just wanted to ask you a few questions
about your robot.
995
01:05:09,409 --> 01:05:13,496
Thinking about what kind of skills
you would like in an alliance partner.
996
01:05:13,580 --> 01:05:15,707
Can you climb?
997
01:05:15,707 --> 01:05:16,875
- Well--
- We can climb.
998
01:05:16,875 --> 01:05:19,961
[Jacob] You get to ask them stuff like,
"Can your robot do this and that?"
999
01:05:21,046 --> 01:05:25,216
Which is really important
in actually choosing an alliance.
1000
01:05:25,300 --> 01:05:28,303
[cheering]
1001
01:05:30,972 --> 01:05:33,183
[Fazlul]
Right now, The TeraWatts are ranked 37th.
1002
01:05:33,183 --> 01:05:35,810
But this competition,
it's all about climbing.
1003
01:05:37,020 --> 01:05:38,271
I'll tell you this right now.
1004
01:05:38,355 --> 01:05:40,273
There are only 15 teams total
1005
01:05:40,357 --> 01:05:42,901
that have demonstrated a climb
during this Regional,
1006
01:05:42,901 --> 01:05:44,527
and you guys are one of them.
1007
01:05:44,611 --> 01:05:47,655
So that means you guys
are top 25% right now.
1008
01:05:48,656 --> 01:05:50,075
That's really good. Good job out there.
1009
01:05:51,493 --> 01:05:54,829
The problem that the Vitruvian Bots had
in most of our matches
1010
01:05:54,913 --> 01:05:57,665
is another robot
hasn't been able to consistently climb.
1011
01:05:57,749 --> 01:06:00,251
So if another robot can get themselves
up there and stay up there,
1012
01:06:00,335 --> 01:06:02,253
we'll be able to balance with them,
get their support.
1013
01:06:02,337 --> 01:06:03,713
- We can do that.
- You can do that.
1014
01:06:03,797 --> 01:06:05,131
Maybe we'll be in an alliance.
1015
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:13,640
[emcee] Welcome to the alliance selection
here at the LA Regionals!
1016
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:14,724
[cheering]
1017
01:06:14,808 --> 01:06:20,105
We have our ranks, and it's time
to allow them to pick their partners.
1018
01:06:20,105 --> 01:06:25,735
Please welcome your top-ranked team, 4201!
1019
01:06:25,819 --> 01:06:29,155
[announcer] From Da Vinci Science
in El Segundo, California,
1020
01:06:29,239 --> 01:06:32,242
it's the Vitruvian Bots.
1021
01:06:33,201 --> 01:06:36,287
[emcee]
Who will you invite to join your alliance?
1022
01:06:37,789 --> 01:06:41,835
Team 4201
would like to roll the dice with Team 987.
1023
01:06:41,835 --> 01:06:44,129
[cheering, applause]
1024
01:06:44,129 --> 01:06:47,132
Team 987, do you accept?
1025
01:06:47,132 --> 01:06:50,927
Team 987 graciously accepts
4201's invitation.
1026
01:06:51,803 --> 01:06:54,431
[emcee]
They're now on the first seed alliance.
1027
01:06:55,390 --> 01:07:00,478
Team 3408 graciously invites Team 5802,
Los STEMateros, to their alliance.
1028
01:07:00,562 --> 01:07:01,688
[woman] Whoo!
1029
01:07:01,688 --> 01:07:03,690
[emcee] On to number four.
1030
01:07:03,690 --> 01:07:07,861
It's Team 207's turn.
Who will you invite to join your alliance?
1031
01:07:07,861 --> 01:07:13,074
Team 207 would love to invite
Team 2637 to our alliance.
1032
01:07:13,158 --> 01:07:14,451
- [applause]
- [emcee] There we are.
1033
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:18,079
Up to the fifth seed captain.
1034
01:07:18,163 --> 01:07:24,711
5553 and 1515 would like to invite 6904.
1035
01:07:24,711 --> 01:07:25,795
[cheering]
1036
01:07:25,879 --> 01:07:29,049
[emcee]
Okay. We have our fifth seed alliance.
1037
01:07:29,716 --> 01:07:32,010
Four more teams to go.
1038
01:07:32,010 --> 01:07:36,264
[Aaron] I didn't believe it at first.
I was thinking, like, "Is he just joking?"
1039
01:07:37,015 --> 01:07:39,809
So we were kind of excited.
1040
01:07:41,102 --> 01:07:45,231
Because we got selected for an alliance,
we have a chance to go to Championships.
1041
01:07:46,608 --> 01:07:50,612
On the climb, we ended up losing 25 points
1042
01:07:50,612 --> 01:07:52,906
because there was touching
at the bottom of it.
1043
01:07:52,906 --> 01:07:55,200
Whoever's playing defense,
make sure you don't make contact
1044
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:57,077
'cause that's how they get
so many penalty points--
1045
01:07:57,827 --> 01:07:59,913
[boy]
One of the robots cannot shoot from the--
1046
01:08:00,413 --> 01:08:01,873
- Cannot shoot from the Trench.
- Right.
1047
01:08:01,873 --> 01:08:03,458
He's blocking that space
so they cannot shoot.
1048
01:08:03,458 --> 01:08:04,667
[Fatima] There's a lot of fouls.
1049
01:08:04,751 --> 01:08:06,920
He couldn't go in that area
'cause then we would get fouled.
1050
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:09,381
So against a number one team, we have to--
1051
01:08:09,381 --> 01:08:11,925
Those points are important.
So we all have to be careful.
1052
01:08:11,925 --> 01:08:15,553
- [boy 2] Let's double-check the robots--
- [Fatima] Restart the computer, batteries.
1053
01:08:15,637 --> 01:08:17,347
[whirring]
1054
01:08:23,103 --> 01:08:26,272
[emcee] Drivers, behind the lines!
1055
01:08:28,149 --> 01:08:32,195
Three. Two. One. Go!
1056
01:08:32,195 --> 01:08:35,281
[announcer] And quarterfinal two
tiebreaker on the way.
1057
01:08:35,365 --> 01:08:38,993
On to Blue Alliance,
put some into the outer port.
1058
01:08:39,077 --> 01:08:40,078
[bell chimes]
1059
01:08:40,078 --> 01:08:42,997
And the Blue Alliance takes a slight lead.
37-27.
1060
01:08:43,081 --> 01:08:44,666
- Whoa! Go, TeraWatts!
- Whoo!
1061
01:08:45,917 --> 01:08:47,585
[announcer]
All right, finding their positions.
1062
01:08:47,669 --> 01:08:50,338
Jet Stream is in the top of the Trench
from there.
1063
01:08:51,089 --> 01:08:53,258
[boy] Someone should get--
Someone get the ball out of the way.
1064
01:08:53,258 --> 01:08:56,261
[Joana] Yeah, can you guys move the ball?
Move the balls out of the way. Yes.
1065
01:08:56,261 --> 01:08:59,055
[announcer]
Blue Alliance, nice shooting all around.
1066
01:08:59,723 --> 01:09:01,474
A very close match.
1067
01:09:03,977 --> 01:09:05,895
...with their long shots going in.
1068
01:09:05,979 --> 01:09:08,398
- [Fatima] Yeah, go. Go, go, go, go.
- MorTorq trying to get it in.
1069
01:09:08,398 --> 01:09:09,858
Go. Try the climb.
1070
01:09:09,858 --> 01:09:12,277
Go, go, go. Line up, Marco!
1071
01:09:12,277 --> 01:09:14,320
[announcer]
It could come down to this endgame...
1072
01:09:17,157 --> 01:09:18,450
And here we go.
1073
01:09:18,450 --> 01:09:20,827
Yeah! Go!
1074
01:09:22,078 --> 01:09:24,581
[announcer] Thirty seconds to go.
The endgame being played.
1075
01:09:24,581 --> 01:09:25,874
There we go. There we go.
1076
01:09:25,874 --> 01:09:27,375
Pick it up now!
1077
01:09:27,459 --> 01:09:29,586
[announcer]
MorTorq trying to find a location
1078
01:09:29,586 --> 01:09:32,422
where they can get in
to get their hook up.
1079
01:09:33,548 --> 01:09:35,300
Eleven, ten seconds to go!
1080
01:09:36,885 --> 01:09:37,969
[Joana] We're way too-- Yeah.
1081
01:09:38,053 --> 01:09:41,181
[announcer]
Replacement robots are being put on top.
1082
01:09:41,181 --> 01:09:44,476
- 53-56.
- [buzzer sounds]
1083
01:09:44,976 --> 01:09:45,977
Man.
1084
01:09:46,728 --> 01:09:48,355
[Aaron] Our robot did pull the climb.
1085
01:09:48,355 --> 01:09:51,941
But the climb got stuck halfway.
So, it just didn't count.
1086
01:09:53,526 --> 01:09:56,738
[announcer] Our referees
are confirming all the scores.
1087
01:09:57,322 --> 01:10:00,700
Whoever wins will go on to the semifinals.
1088
01:10:04,746 --> 01:10:05,747
Scores coming up.
1089
01:10:05,747 --> 01:10:10,001
It's gonna be the Red Alliance
advancing to our semifinals.
1090
01:10:10,877 --> 01:10:13,713
113-66.
1091
01:10:13,797 --> 01:10:15,840
Red Alliance will be advancing.
1092
01:10:16,675 --> 01:10:18,968
Let's give these guys a round of applause.
1093
01:10:19,052 --> 01:10:24,724
5553, 1515 and 6904.
1094
01:10:24,808 --> 01:10:26,893
Good job. Good job. You did a good job.
1095
01:10:29,312 --> 01:10:30,980
[Fatima] It's really not about winning.
1096
01:10:31,940 --> 01:10:35,276
Of course, it's a competition.
You wanna, like, do well.
1097
01:10:35,360 --> 01:10:37,904
But what it's really about is the skills
the kids learn.
1098
01:10:37,904 --> 01:10:39,823
Communication. Working together.
1099
01:10:39,823 --> 01:10:41,366
Solving problems.
1100
01:10:42,534 --> 01:10:46,204
Winning comes in life skills. Right?
And the kids actually feel that.
1101
01:10:46,204 --> 01:10:49,290
It's not just, "Don't worry.
You were a good sport. You played well."
1102
01:10:49,374 --> 01:10:52,502
No, the kids actually will be like,
"Wow. We actually grew a lot."
1103
01:10:53,086 --> 01:10:54,170
They understand that.
1104
01:10:55,046 --> 01:10:57,298
You need to be proud.
You guys got really far.
1105
01:10:58,049 --> 01:11:00,218
And it was a really simple robot,
right, so...
1106
01:11:00,218 --> 01:11:01,302
Yeah.
1107
01:11:01,386 --> 01:11:04,222
We did pretty good.
We got to the quarterfinals.
1108
01:11:04,222 --> 01:11:06,433
Which we were all happy for, so...
1109
01:11:06,433 --> 01:11:09,102
Yeah.
Well, we gotta stay for the awards, right?
1110
01:11:09,894 --> 01:11:13,189
The safety award.
I want the safety award. [laughs]
1111
01:11:14,190 --> 01:11:20,071
[emcee] Welcome
to the Los Angeles Regional Finals!
1112
01:11:20,155 --> 01:11:21,156
[cheering]
1113
01:11:21,156 --> 01:11:24,200
One alliance will be
our regional champions.
1114
01:11:24,284 --> 01:11:26,661
One will be our finalists.
1115
01:11:26,745 --> 01:11:31,666
Let's hear it for Team 4201!
1116
01:11:31,750 --> 01:11:33,626
[cheering]
1117
01:11:35,712 --> 01:11:38,298
[man] 1197 likes to stick their nose out
over the line.
1118
01:11:38,298 --> 01:11:40,008
- Yeah, but it's--
- [man] So we can hit them.
1119
01:11:40,008 --> 01:11:42,427
And we just need to sit here
and ping-pong between 'em.
1120
01:11:42,427 --> 01:11:43,511
All right.
1121
01:11:43,595 --> 01:11:45,138
- [man] All right, good?
- [boy] Yeah. I'm good.
1122
01:11:45,138 --> 01:11:46,222
- [man] Good luck, guys.
- Okay.
1123
01:11:46,306 --> 01:11:48,725
[emcee] Drivers, behind the line.
1124
01:11:49,267 --> 01:11:53,313
Three, two, one, go!
1125
01:11:53,313 --> 01:11:55,106
[fanfare plays]
1126
01:12:03,531 --> 01:12:04,824
[bell chimes]
1127
01:12:19,756 --> 01:12:21,424
[announcer] Here come the TorBots...
1128
01:12:24,469 --> 01:12:28,473
The Blue Alliance is having
to feed Power Cells into the field.
1129
01:12:32,185 --> 01:12:33,561
[crowd chanting] chanRed Alliance!
1130
01:12:34,771 --> 01:12:36,064
Red Alliance!
1131
01:12:37,399 --> 01:12:38,733
Red Alliance!
1132
01:12:39,359 --> 01:12:42,487
[announcer]
It's time to climb. It's 140-75.
1133
01:12:45,990 --> 01:12:50,203
The High Rollers and the Vitruvian Bots
are gonna try and balance that switch.
1134
01:12:51,204 --> 01:12:54,791
The High Rollers are attached.
The Vitruvian Bots are up.
1135
01:12:54,791 --> 01:12:56,334
[cheering]
1136
01:13:12,392 --> 01:13:15,395
And it was the Red Alliance!
1137
01:13:15,395 --> 01:13:18,273
[cheering]
1138
01:13:18,273 --> 01:13:19,774
Yeah!
1139
01:13:24,446 --> 01:13:25,530
Nice!
1140
01:13:30,577 --> 01:13:33,747
[Jacob] It turned out
that we had a well-built robot
1141
01:13:33,747 --> 01:13:38,585
that was very good at the game
and doing things quickly.
1142
01:13:39,085 --> 01:13:40,128
[man] Congratulations.
1143
01:13:40,128 --> 01:13:43,673
[Jacob] I was doubting it earlier,
but it seemed to work out very nicely.
1144
01:13:43,757 --> 01:13:49,679
There were no electrical or wiring issues,
which is pretty astonishing, actually.
1145
01:13:49,763 --> 01:13:53,058
Usually, there are at least seven
at a regional.
1146
01:13:54,684 --> 01:13:55,769
Because of the coronavirus,
1147
01:13:55,769 --> 01:14:00,315
events have, in fact, been closed
and teams have been removed from events.
1148
01:14:01,483 --> 01:14:04,235
Do I think Championships
are going to be called off?
1149
01:14:04,319 --> 01:14:06,613
Oh, I hope not. Of course, I hope not.
1150
01:14:25,507 --> 01:14:28,843
[Fazlul] It was just a few days
after our win at the LA Regional
1151
01:14:28,927 --> 01:14:30,887
and we were riding high as a team.
1152
01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:34,641
We were excited.
We were ready to go to Championships.
1153
01:14:36,101 --> 01:14:39,312
But people were
already starting to get nervous.
1154
01:14:44,359 --> 01:14:48,988
[Jacob] I just happened to check my e-mail
and something popped up.
1155
01:14:49,072 --> 01:14:53,993
It was a message and it said
that Championships was canceled
1156
01:14:54,869 --> 01:14:57,914
due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
1157
01:14:59,290 --> 01:15:03,962
March 12th, 2020.
"Dear friends, colleagues and partners..."
1158
01:15:03,962 --> 01:15:05,380
"It is with deep disappointment
1159
01:15:05,380 --> 01:15:09,217
that I share an update on the immediate
suspension of the current FIRST season
1160
01:15:09,217 --> 01:15:11,511
and the cancellation
of both Championship events."
1161
01:15:11,511 --> 01:15:14,264
"This cancellation
of both Championship events."
1162
01:15:14,264 --> 01:15:16,307
"The cancellation of both Championship"--
1163
01:15:16,391 --> 01:15:18,268
"Both Championship events."
1164
01:15:18,268 --> 01:15:20,353
"The decision has been made
based on guidance
1165
01:15:20,437 --> 01:15:22,147
from the World Health Organization,
1166
01:15:22,147 --> 01:15:23,440
Centers for Disease Control,
1167
01:15:23,440 --> 01:15:26,735
and state and local health officials
as well as the declaration of..."
1168
01:15:29,529 --> 01:15:31,364
[Jacob]
I had been looking forward to going.
1169
01:15:32,282 --> 01:15:35,493
We had worked out everything in the robot.
1170
01:15:35,577 --> 01:15:39,581
We were just prepared
to take on anyone and everyone.
1171
01:15:40,623 --> 01:15:43,877
I'm sure there were other teams that
have been looking forward to competing
1172
01:15:43,877 --> 01:15:47,088
because there were some teams
that never really got to compete.
1173
01:15:53,136 --> 01:15:56,222
[Kanon] When I heard the rest
of the season will be suspended,
1174
01:15:57,098 --> 01:15:59,642
I was really, really shocked.
1175
01:16:01,269 --> 01:16:05,190
[Noi, in Japanese]
1176
01:16:26,378 --> 01:16:31,716
[Mariana, in Spanish]
1177
01:16:37,138 --> 01:16:44,020
And just to not have that,
it's kind of really hard.
1178
01:16:49,359 --> 01:16:50,902
[Aaron]
1179
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:08,294
[Kamen]
To everybody in the FIRST community,
1180
01:17:09,295 --> 01:17:12,132
FIRST has never been about the robots.
1181
01:17:12,132 --> 01:17:15,176
It's never been about the competitions.
1182
01:17:15,260 --> 01:17:17,512
It's never been about the events.
1183
01:17:18,304 --> 01:17:21,266
It's about building a community...
1184
01:17:21,266 --> 01:17:24,519
and at this point,
it's a global community.
1185
01:17:25,270 --> 01:17:30,066
Let's use this situation as a reminder
of how important it is
1186
01:17:30,150 --> 01:17:31,985
that we all work together.
1187
01:17:33,278 --> 01:17:37,907
We should see this problem,
like all other problems,
1188
01:17:38,783 --> 01:17:44,289
as an opportunity to create a solution
that not only will benefit us
1189
01:17:44,289 --> 01:17:49,169
but will be scalable to help the rest
of the world deal with this problem.
1190
01:17:50,962 --> 01:17:52,922
Even though the robotics season
was canceled,
1191
01:17:53,006 --> 01:17:56,009
we were still very into, like,
a robotics mindset.
1192
01:17:56,009 --> 01:17:57,302
We're kind of always into that.
1193
01:17:58,303 --> 01:18:03,350
Once we saw the challenges of health care
workers and essential workers needing PPE,
1194
01:18:03,350 --> 01:18:07,854
we decided that we would help out
- by 3-
- D printing headbands,
1195
01:18:07,854 --> 01:18:11,566
face shields,
and then also sewing, um, face masks.
1196
01:18:11,566 --> 01:18:12,650
[chuckles]
1197
01:18:14,694 --> 01:18:17,072
[boy]
1198
01:18:17,947 --> 01:18:21,910
[boy 2]
1199
01:18:22,827 --> 01:18:26,164
[male broadcaster] The Afghan girls'
robotics team in Herat, Afghanistan,
1200
01:18:26,164 --> 01:18:28,291
is busy designing something
completely different--
1201
01:18:28,958 --> 01:18:32,921
much-needed ventilators
during the coronavirus pandemic.
1202
01:18:32,921 --> 01:18:35,632
My team is 5653.
1203
01:18:36,257 --> 01:18:39,511
We were having a discussion about
what is something that we could do
1204
01:18:39,511 --> 01:18:40,887
to help our community with.
1205
01:18:42,764 --> 01:18:45,350
And that ended up being
the grocery delivery robot.
1206
01:18:47,102 --> 01:18:52,023
[Kamen] If you wanted quantitative proof
of the impact of FIRST,
1207
01:18:52,107 --> 01:18:55,860
all you have to do is look at what's
happening through this COVID crisis.
1208
01:18:57,070 --> 01:19:02,951
Not one, not two, not three,
but most of the thousands of teams
1209
01:19:02,951 --> 01:19:05,995
immediately mobilized
in many different ways,
1210
01:19:06,079 --> 01:19:07,497
because that's what FIRST is about.
1211
01:19:07,497 --> 01:19:10,208
[speaking Spanish]
1212
01:19:10,709 --> 01:19:13,128
I've been talking with
the other team members,
1213
01:19:13,128 --> 01:19:18,425
telling them that it doesn't matter
if we are, like, all apart.
1214
01:19:18,425 --> 01:19:22,178
I mean, we are still a family.
We are still a team.
1215
01:19:22,262 --> 01:19:26,725
So we were like,
"We can do something here in Mexico."
1216
01:19:26,725 --> 01:19:30,395
- Some people don't have Wi-
- Fi and a laptop,
1217
01:19:30,979 --> 01:19:35,066
so we are preparing presentations
for those students
1218
01:19:35,150 --> 01:19:38,653
so they can still be learning
in this quarantine.
1219
01:19:39,821 --> 01:19:41,823
These kids were mobilized to say,
1220
01:19:41,823 --> 01:19:43,575
"I see a problem out there.
1221
01:19:43,575 --> 01:19:47,328
I've gotta start working on a solution
and we better do something."
1222
01:19:49,039 --> 01:19:51,374
There's not one right strategy for a robot
1223
01:19:51,458 --> 01:19:54,461
and there is not one right response
to COVID.
1224
01:19:56,671 --> 01:20:00,300
[Noi, in Japanese]
1225
01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:25,533
When we see a crisis,
1226
01:20:25,617 --> 01:20:27,577
when we see a problem
that we're trying to solve,
1227
01:20:27,577 --> 01:20:30,705
the first thing that comes
to people's minds is, "How do I solve it?
1228
01:20:30,789 --> 01:20:32,374
How do I tackle the problem?"
1229
01:20:32,374 --> 01:20:34,084
That's kind of built into FIRST.
1230
01:20:34,709 --> 01:20:38,046
This is one of those situations
where, as a world,
1231
01:20:38,046 --> 01:20:40,465
we need to work together
to solve this problem.
1232
01:20:42,258 --> 01:20:43,510
[Jacob] Is it on?
1233
01:20:44,094 --> 01:20:45,220
Brilliant.
1234
01:20:45,220 --> 01:20:49,641
My team has continued
to have robotics meetings.
1235
01:20:49,641 --> 01:20:53,520
We're trying to figure out
what we could be doing to help.
1236
01:20:54,229 --> 01:20:57,232
I'm teaching everyone on the team
how to code.
1237
01:20:57,857 --> 01:21:01,736
It's honestly
a very important skill to have
1238
01:21:01,820 --> 01:21:05,115
because technology, ultimately,
it's the future.
1239
01:21:08,493 --> 01:21:10,203
[Aaron] No one likes this quarantine
1240
01:21:10,203 --> 01:21:13,707
because you kinda need
human interactions with other people.
1241
01:21:14,749 --> 01:21:19,170
So one project
that we're working on is a podcast.
1242
01:21:19,921 --> 01:21:22,966
[Fatima] It's so beautiful that they've
come to this podcast being about,
1243
01:21:22,966 --> 01:21:25,635
you know, people of color
overcoming barriers in STEM.
1244
01:21:26,428 --> 01:21:27,429
[girl] Join us once a month
1245
01:21:27,429 --> 01:21:30,682
as we talk to other people of color
leading in STEM.
1246
01:21:30,682 --> 01:21:32,642
Get to learn about the obstacles
they have faced
1247
01:21:32,726 --> 01:21:34,227
and how they overcame them.
1248
01:21:34,227 --> 01:21:36,021
[Fatima]
They've seen their resources lacking
1249
01:21:36,021 --> 01:21:39,399
and they're finding ways now
to talk about it and overcome it.
1250
01:21:39,399 --> 01:21:42,944
I think it's gonna be a great way
to let their voice be heard.
1251
01:21:44,404 --> 01:21:47,407
I'm not surprised that so many teams
have stepped up.
1252
01:21:48,450 --> 01:21:51,119
These are the values
that FIRST really encourages.
1253
01:21:51,745 --> 01:21:54,914
They choose to still find humor
and laugh and smile,
1254
01:21:54,998 --> 01:21:57,959
and be there for each other,
and not lose sight of their commitments,
1255
01:21:58,043 --> 01:22:00,879
and I find that, you know,
really, really inspiring.
1256
01:22:01,921 --> 01:22:05,842
FIRST really promotes Coopertition,
gracious professionalism
1257
01:22:05,842 --> 01:22:08,762
and teaches children to be adults,
1258
01:22:08,762 --> 01:22:11,056
to turn into these responsible,
1259
01:22:11,056 --> 01:22:14,809
communicative, empathetic,
collaborative adults.
1260
01:22:15,852 --> 01:22:17,604
It is way more than a club.
1261
01:22:18,813 --> 01:22:22,817
It's like a way of life almost, right?
Teaches you the skills of life.
1262
01:22:26,321 --> 01:22:29,991
[Kanon] I personally really want
every student in Japan to, like,
1263
01:22:30,075 --> 01:22:35,538
have the opportunity to learn engineering
through FIRST because it's really awesome.
1264
01:22:36,456 --> 01:22:41,419
I'm also working at FIRST Japan
so that we can create more teams in Japan.
1265
01:22:42,170 --> 01:22:44,130
The community here is amazing.
1266
01:22:44,214 --> 01:22:48,468
Suddenly you have so many friends
from all around the world.
1267
01:22:49,302 --> 01:22:50,845
That's just so important.
1268
01:22:52,430 --> 01:22:55,266
[Noi, in Japanese]
1269
01:23:27,424 --> 01:23:28,591
[Aaron] FIRST helped me.
1270
01:23:28,675 --> 01:23:29,801
Life is like a game.
1271
01:23:29,801 --> 01:23:33,263
To succeed, you have to pass one thing
to go to the next level
1272
01:23:33,263 --> 01:23:36,516
and if you don't put work in
or time into that,
1273
01:23:36,516 --> 01:23:38,810
then you're not gonna
move on to the next level.
1274
01:23:40,353 --> 01:23:43,523
I think it's important
that we teach the new generation
1275
01:23:44,482 --> 01:23:47,652
because if they really want to get into,
like, engineering a robot--
1276
01:23:47,736 --> 01:23:49,821
I feel like they should start
in either FIRST,
1277
01:23:49,821 --> 01:23:51,531
or any other division of it,
1278
01:23:51,531 --> 01:23:53,450
because you take away a lot from it.
1279
01:23:54,951 --> 01:23:56,369
It's like a family basically.
1280
01:23:56,453 --> 01:23:59,414
Because we all get along
and we have to help each other out.
1281
01:23:59,414 --> 01:24:02,709
But when we're not doing that, you know,
we just hang out, crack jokes.
1282
01:24:02,709 --> 01:24:04,002
[all laughing]
1283
01:24:07,213 --> 01:24:08,757
[Jacob] What FIRST Robotics has done
1284
01:24:08,757 --> 01:24:11,176
is it showed me how to work
as part of a team.
1285
01:24:11,176 --> 01:24:14,596
It showed me
how to effectively collaborate
1286
01:24:14,596 --> 01:24:18,767
and that working on a team
is in fact possible.
1287
01:24:18,767 --> 01:24:21,686
And in some cases
better than working individually.
1288
01:24:22,937 --> 01:24:27,150
If our world can work as a team,
everything will work out.
1289
01:24:29,652 --> 01:24:34,532
FIRST is respect. It is teamwork.
It is technology.
1290
01:24:34,616 --> 01:24:36,618
It is preparing students for the future.
1291
01:24:36,618 --> 01:24:37,702
It is...
1292
01:24:39,079 --> 01:24:40,413
more than robots.
1293
01:24:41,498 --> 01:24:46,294
[Cinthya, in Spanish]
1294
01:25:08,692 --> 01:25:12,320
[Mariana] I realized that
I really like to help people,
1295
01:25:13,780 --> 01:25:15,699
so I've become a mentor,
1296
01:25:16,908 --> 01:25:21,538
and now my job is to share all of
that knowledge that I have with my team.
1297
01:25:24,499 --> 01:25:27,961
This is how I'm getting to build a legacy.
1298
01:25:29,379 --> 01:25:30,714
[laughs]
1299
01:25:30,714 --> 01:25:36,011
Without FIRST, I wouldn't have these
people around me that inspire me so much.
1300
01:25:36,011 --> 01:25:38,805
[chanting in Spanish]
1301
01:25:38,805 --> 01:25:40,515

1302
01:25:41,349 --> 01:25:44,561
[in Spanish]
1303
01:25:52,902 --> 01:25:55,196
I still don't know what career
I'm going to choose,
1304
01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:57,115
but right now, I'm not afraid of it.
1305
01:26:00,118 --> 01:26:04,581
FIRST has given me the opportunity
to become better and better
1306
01:26:04,581 --> 01:26:06,875
and to never stop dreaming.
1307
01:26:10,337 --> 01:26:13,340
[guitar playing]
1308
01:26:16,092 --> 01:26:21,723
[Kamen] We created FIRST to inspire kids,
but over the years what I realized was
1309
01:26:21,723 --> 01:26:26,561
the inspiration is what these kids
are doing for their teachers
1310
01:26:26,561 --> 01:26:28,480
and their mentors and their parents.
1311
01:26:28,480 --> 01:26:31,941
And when you can take
sometimes the most unlikely kids,
1312
01:26:32,025 --> 01:26:34,944
and they reluctantly go
to this FIRST meeting,
1313
01:26:35,028 --> 01:26:37,322
and they're intimidated
to look at all this stuff.
1314
01:26:37,322 --> 01:26:38,740
And by the end of the season,
1315
01:26:38,740 --> 01:26:42,994
they'll look you right in the eye
and they'll say, "I can do this,"
1316
01:26:43,578 --> 01:26:45,246
and they inspire us.
